Dance showcase

Dance Showcase.. 

The day had come the day where we had to show our cultural dance.

I was in the Mollywood group and my teacher was Miss
Jeslyn and Miss Teresa for my dance. Also some mothers
came for support.

I got changed in my black clothes and Esha’s mother Tara did
my makeup. My Teacher Miss Jeslyn did my hair. I was so excited.
I had practiced every lunch and morning tea time in the school library.
Miss Jeslin and Miss Teressa put me on a lovely Bollywood dress.
I really did not want to  ruin my look so I sat down. My friend Athena
who is in my class with Miss Paton sat next to me. We took some
photos for memories. We talked and my other friend Rosina joined
who is in another class joined us. The little kids looked absolutely
adorable.

I told my friend Rosina that I had never danced with
a lot of
people looking at me and turned out she
never did as well. At least we shared the same
feelings. I thought oh no I needed to face my
fears. The Teachers took a quick picture before we went.

First, we needed to wait on the stairs
. I was relieved, I thought
to myself. Then I saw  my mother
coming and she said “Hi”.
I don't really remember what else she said. She
said that her and my brother were going to wait in the hall .
After awhile it was officially time to go and show our dance. We
waited outside for the group before us to finish their dance.

Then the teacher told us to come in. My heart was going really
fast. I really wanted to tell my Mother and Miss Jeslin I did not
want to do it. I wanted to feel proud of myself and make my
mother and teacher proud. When the music started,

I was scared that people would laugh at me. I tried to
smile as much as possible. I think the hardest part was
looking at the people looking at me. I tried to also look at
them and

smile but after awhile I got used to it. I really enjoyed
the dance and who knew facing your fears was so fun.
